Soul Harvest: The World Takes Sides (Left Behind #4)

Great earthquakes have rocked the earth, killing millions of people and leaving widespread devastation. As world leader Nicolae Carpathia sends out his forces to restore order, pilot Rayford Steele finds it increasingly difficult to work for the man he has identified as humanity’s ultimate enemy. Steele’s thoughts are with the Tribulation Force, a ragtag group of true believers in Christ—as are the thoughts of reporter Buck Williams as he desperately searches for his wife, who disappeared in the earthquake. Through the increased despair and destruction of the Antichrist’s rise, the Tribulation Force finds strength in scriptural assurances of a great harvest of souls in the last days.

This fourth book in the best-selling Left Behind® saga is filled with spectacular visions of tribulation and faith. Richard Ferrone’s deep, thoughtful narration captures every battle in a gripping fight for spiritual truth.

Amazon.com Review
Having survived the wrath of the Lamb--a global earthquake in the 21st month of the Tribulation--pilot Rayford Steele and reporter Buck Williams now embark on a journey of absorbing adventure and Christian triumph. Soul Harvest is book four in the enormously popular Left Behind series (seven books are planned in all), based on those who are left behind in the Rapture. Written with the same gripping pace of Tom Clancy and John Grisham (film rights have already been sold for the first two books), the authors take us to Iraq, America, underground shelters, and the bottom of the Tigris river as Steele and Williams search for loved ones. Meanwhile, biblical prophecies are fulfilled at every turn, including the great soul harvest. For many Christian followers, this series has become a tangible and thrilling testament to the Book of Revelations. --Gail Hudson

Left Behind: The Tribulation , 2008-11-23

What I'm reading

Have you heard of the Left Behind series? Silly question. Of course you have. You're reading about it right now.

I've finally decided I'd read it and "kindled" the book. Mistake. I probably should have taken it out of the library. Think about this. There are twelve-thirteen? books in the series. Each one costs between 5 and 10 dollar a piece. Figuring the usual $10 kindle price, if i were to buy twelve of these, it would (will) run me $120

For a book. That isn't a masterpiece or a piece of antiquity. So what's the draw for people to lay aside their hard-earned and possibly disappearing cash?

It's not that well written. (Sorry Timothy LaHaye) It's simplistic and the characters are not well developed. Plus, redundancies! Don't even get me started.
If they cut all the repetition, they'd probably have a long "The Stand" type novel.

But, the story about the end of times, the coming of the Anti-Christ and the Tribulation; and, it has me hooked.

So my point? Despite all it's deficiencies, it's a darned good story. And, by golly, it's brought my attention back to my bible. (even if it is to Revelations)

A DARN GOOD STORY It's the key every time.

Cheers

PERFECT, 2008-03-31
My goal is to read all of the "Left Behind" series and I'm almost there. It is very hard for me to put down these books. I enjoy them thoroughly and recommend them to all of you who find reading the bible boring.

A slow read..., 2008-03-27
LaHaye and Jenkins' fourth book in the series, again offers a slow and winding ride to the Glorious Appearing of Christ. Though not as slow as Nicolae, it's still in the early stages to know if it's going to get better. Though I'm now 1/3 of the way to the end of the series, I have a sneaking suspicion they probably could've condensed it into seven books instead of twelve.

I'm a Catholic and I love stories from the bible and am very interested in the Book of Revelations, so I had high hopes for this going in, but I feel like I'm going to end up with a 'meh' feeling at the end. Instead of increasing the urgency of the times, the authors take every chance they get to preach the word to every new person they meet. Okay, we get the point, accept Christ into your hearts or you won't be accepted into heaven.

I don't mean to seem blase about the whole thing, but you want people to be entertained as well. The authors dispense with the obvious thrill aspect and fill it with boring exposition. Example: A quarter of the world just died...DIED. The horrors around them should be horrendous, the stench should be overwhelming. I wanted to feel that apocalyptic sense of urgency and yet it was played off like a day at the doctor's waiting room and "let's read the bible some more."

It could've played out like a thrilling Christian movie on a grand scale, not a 17-hour sermon.
